thee on the gallows; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from thee.

And it came to pass on the third day, that Pharaoh celebrated his jubilee, and made a feast to all his servants, and raised up the head of the chief paster, and the head of the chief baker among his servants;

And he set the chief tumbler again in his tumbler office, to give the cup in Pharaoh’s hand; 22. But the chief baker he hanged, as Joseph had signified unto them.

But the chief tavern keeper remembered not Joseph, but forgot his.
(Genesis)
Chapter 41
Joseph is raised to princely majesty by interpretation of Pharaoh’s dreams.

And after two years Pharaoh had a dream, as he stood by the waters.

And I saw seven fat cows coming up out of the water, walking by the pasture in the grass.

And after these he saw other seven kine come up out of the water, ugly and lean: and they stood by the kine upon the bank by the water.

And the ugly and lean ones did eat the seven fair fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.

And he fell asleep again, and dreamed again, and saw seven ears of corn growing out of one stalk, full and thick.

And afterward he saw seven ears of thin and scorched corn spring up.

And the seven lean ears swallowed up the seven thick and full ears. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.

And when it was morning, his spirit was troubled, and sent and called all the diviners of Egypt, and all the wise men, and told them his dreams. But there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.

And the chief host spake unto Pharaoh, saying: I remember my sin this day.

And Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in prison with the chief baker in the house of the captain of the guard,

Then dreamed we both in one night, every man his dream, the interpretation of which concerned him.

And there was with us a young man of the sons of Egypt, the chamberlain’s servant, and we told him. And he interpreted our dreams unto us, every man according to his dream.

And as he signified unto us, so it is done: for I am restored to my office, and he is hanged.

And Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and sent him out of the hole in haste. And he was clothed, and put on other garments, and came in unto Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh said unto him, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: but I have heard thee say, When thou hearest a dream, thou canst interpret it.

And Joseph answered Pharaoh, and said, This is not with me: surely God will prophesy good things unto Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I dreamed that I stood by the waters on the shore.

And when I was come up out of the water, I saw seven fat cows of great beauty, walking by the pasture in the grass.

And after them I saw other seven scrawny cows come out, very ugly and lean. I have not seen such ugly ones in all the land of Egypt.

And the seven lean and ugly cows did eat upon the seven first fat cows.

And when they had eaten them up, it was not known in them that they had eaten them; and they were as ugly as before. Then I awoke.

And once in my dream I saw seven ears of corn growing on one stalk, full and thick.

And afterward there went up seven dry ears of corn, thin and scorched.

And the seven thin ears swallowed up the seven thick ears. And I have told it unto the diviners, but they cannot interpret it unto me.

And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, Both Pharaoh’s dreams are one. For God tells Pharaoh what He intends to do.

The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears of corn are also the seven years. It is the same dream.

The seven lean and ugly kine that came up after them are seven years: and the seven lean and scorched ears of corn are seven years of costly time.

Now this is that I said unto Pharaoh, that God would shew Pharaoh what he would do.

Behold, seven years of plenty shall come upon all the land of Egypt.

And after them shall come seven years of trouble, and all the abundance of the land of Egypt shall be forgotten: and the trouble shall consume the land,

That nothing shall be known of the fulness in the land before the precious time that cometh after: for it shall be almost heavy.

And that Pharaoh dreamed the second time signifieth that God will surely and speedily do this thing.

Now Pharaoh looketh for a man of understanding and wisdom, whom he shall set over the land of Egypt,

And he shall appoint officers in the land, and take the fifth in the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty;

And gather all the food of the good years that shall come, and heap up corn in Pharaoh’s granaries for a store in the cities, and keep it,

That food may be found ordained for the land in the seven costly years that shall come upon the land of Egypt, that the land be not destroyed for hunger.

And the speech pleased Pharaoh well, and all his servants.

And Pharaoh said unto his servants: How can we find such a man in whom is the Spirit of God?

And said unto Joseph, Because God hath made all these things known unto thee, there is none so understanding and wise as thou.

Thou shalt be over my house, and unto thy word shall all my people obey: of the king’s throne alone will I be higher than thou.

And Pharaoh said again unto Joseph, Behold, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

And he took his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and clothed him in white silk, and put a chain of gold upon his neck.

And he made him ride in his other chariot, and proclaimed before him: He is the father of the land. And he set him over all the land of Egypt.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh: without thy will shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.

And called him the secret council. And he gave him a wife, Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest of On. So Joseph went forth to see the land of Egypt.

And he was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt: and he departed from Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

And the land did so the seven rich years;

And they gathered all the meat of the seven years that were in the land of Egypt, and put it into the cities. And whatsoever food was growing in the field of any city round about, that they put therein.

So Joseph heaped up the corn, as much as the sand of the sea, so that he ceased to count it; for it could not be counted.

And unto Joseph were born two sons before the precious time came, which Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest bare unto him.

And he called the first Manasseh: for God, said he, hath made me forget all my calamities, and all my father’s house.

And the other he called Ephraim: for God, said he, hath made me to grow in the land of my affliction.

And when the seven years of plenty were expired in the land of Egypt, 54. And the seven years of trouble began to come, when Joseph had spoken of them. And there was a famine in all the land: but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.

And when all the land of Egypt was also famished, the people cried unto Pharaoh for bread.
And Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; whatsoever he saith unto you, do.

And it came to pass, when there was a famine throughout all the land, that Joseph opened cornhouses every where, and sold unto the Egyptians. For the longer the famine continued, the greater was the famine in the land.

And all the countries of Egypt came to buy of Joseph: for the famine was great in all the countries.
(Genesis)
Chapter 42
Journey of the sons of Jacob into Egypt, without Benjamin.

And when Jacob saw that corn was sold in Egypt, he said unto his sons: Why do you look around so long?

Behold, I hear that there is corn in Egypt: go down and buy us corn, that we may live, and not die.

So ten of Joseph’s brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.

But Benjamin Joseph’s brother would not let Jacob go with his brethren: for he said, An accident may befall him.

So the children of Israel came to buy corn, and others with them: for it was dear in the land of Canaan.

But Joseph was the ruler of the land, and sold corn unto all the people of the land. And when his brethren came unto him, they fell down to the earth upon their faces before him.

And he looked upon them, and knew them; and stood strange against them, and spake hard unto them, and said unto them: Whence come ye? And they said: Out of the land of Canaan, to buy meat.

But though he knew them, yet knew they him not.

And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed of them, and said unto them: Ye are spies, and are come to see where the land is open.

And they said unto him, Nay, my lord; thy servants are come to buy meat.

We are all
